They can't fucking afford to have their own place and you're flipping it as if living with your parents or 4 other flatmates is so much better than being able to rent your own apartment!

You know, I think homeless people are the luckiest, they spend all their day outdoors, in the sun, doing absolutely nothing and they have no worries what an amazing lifestyle don't you think?

You're spinning it as if gen Z were making a lot of money, the oldest ones are 26 if they have $20k savings it means they've been saving all their income very heavily and living frugally.

How do you think 18 to 26 years old can afford luxury items?

  • If they didn't do any studies and worked at 18 it means that they are spending above their means.
  • If they did studies they are just finishing the education so have no money either

The most likely case is that their families are wealthy to beggin with and advertising has become much better at targeting them than it was with millenials.

All the younger generations haven't been doing well financially due to the boomer generation fuck ups, COVID arrived and to save boomers lives we all had to isolate and stop living, millions of people's lives got worse with no income but not the retired boomers getting their retirement money.

Boomers got vaccinated first because of the higher risks and it meant that when cruises were allowed again they were all booked out for months, so while younger generations were struggling to get back on their feets after stopping their lives to save boomers, boomers went on holidays and cruises are the worst way of travelling for the environment.

So I can understand people being bitter to seem more elderly just having it so good while fucking up everyone else lives

[edit] fuck ups implies they made mistakes, it's more egoistical nature. Until recently they had the majority for all voting as they were more in numbers so they got people elected who would increase housing value because they wanted their houses value to increase even if it meant making housing unaffordable for younger generations, they also chose not to increase minimum wage because they were worried about their own lifestyle would have increased costs and they weren't affected by the non increase. Amongst other things.
